"Are you engaged to marry the accusedP'
This was not the first question put to the
witness, but it was the first that promised to
afford the spectators, who occupied every
inch of floor in the justice-room, the slight
est return for the trouble they had taken.
The city were talking of nothing but the
CritchlOw tragedy; and even in Cheapside
the excitement was plainly visible. Every
one who could win an entrance, and was
not engaged elsewhere, was there. II was
rumOred that the matter was now as clear as
the murder was diabOllcal, and that the
young man would certainly be committed
for trial to-day. Among the persons pointed
at and scanned and sketched by the crowd
in that close, green-painted court with the
one window and the skylight, was Mr.. Park
man; and close observers noted that his eyes
would now and again turn from wandering
over the court to cast look of anxiety Of
expectation, almost of|dread, toward the
door.

IN CLANKING CHAINS

The day was warm; the sun was shining;
the skies and the hills were soft with the
mellow haze of autumn.
But for the purple on the grapes and the
decadence ofsthe flowers one would have
thought that it was still summer, 80 mild
and balmy was the air. -
All nature, save the winds, was in a
browse; and they, sleepily enough, too,
were striving at playfulness. One moment
the bracing sea breeze was blown eastward
from the Bay of Biscay, and the next mo
ment the dryer air Of the eastern mountains
prevailed; neither being sufficient to scarce
ly rustic the LEAKAGE on tree or vine.
Ninette, a woman in graceful shapeliness,
but child in all else, sat swishing her bare
feet through the clear water of a little isO-
lated pool in a shelterlng grove.
Her brown fingers were weaving wreath
of leaves and half-dead flowers, and with
closed lips she was cumming a little song
which gurgled in her throat like bird music.
1t was one of those sweet simple, pastoral
airs which have become quite as much part
Of the lives of the people Of France as the
love which they bear their children.

"Feeling the Enemy"

Colonel William w. Lang, the Consul
at Hamburg, has characteristic Iemin-
iscence of Southern fighting methods dur
ing the war. Colonel Greene, of Texas,
was dashing, invincible cavalry officer,
who rushed precipitately into battle with
out any plans or preconceived notions.
He had simple way of firing his COM
mand with reckless enthusiasm. When
ever old Greenetugged his wide-brimmed
hat down over his eyes and shouted,
Boys, I want few volunteers" every
one knew it was to do or die. In antici-
patton of General Wetzers march rom
New Orleans to Port Hudson with 4, 900
troops and supplies for the relief Of the
beleaguered garrison, Colonel Lang
secuted the intermediate country, and
with General Taylor, of the Confederaie g
infantry, planned an interception and
bait e. Greene was called t. the council
and ordered to move out with his 1900
cavalry to "feel " the advancing
| Unionists and then retreat to dra q them
/ into an ambush of 4, 900 infantry and ar
tiIlery. The intrepid Texan, unaccus-
/ toned to this kind of warfare, upon re
ceiving the orders scratched his head
resentfully, though he finally obeyed
without any uttered protest. His com
mand on that memorable occasion was {
detected "Well, come along, boys.
/ There was more of the funeral than thu
martial air in the advance, but after hav
ing got beyond the sight of headquarter
a change came over the spirits of thu
column. Greene halted and made thi
address: "Boys, want u few volun
teers." One long, loud shout answered
him. When they came in sight Of tn
Unionists wild, sweeping charge wa
made with Greene in the lead, and Wet
eel and his entire command were CAP
tured, while Taylor was complacentl
waiting for the expected victory of hi
ambus ade. The success of Greene's i'm
petuosity could not appease Tay or
anger and d appointment, however.
"You have disobeyed your orders

Making Motto Candles.

Great quantities of fruit, especially the
ounce, pear, apple and apricot, are con-
sumed in the manufacture of candy,
giving their flavor to the finished con-
fection. The manufacture of motto
candies ought to interest sentimental
people The material of these lender
little billet-doux is made plastic by
neans of gum-trlgacansh, kneaded like

with long rolling-pin. The notices

Mr.. w. Fisher, Hancock Co., Me-,
desires information about the bot fly,
which lays it eggs on the legs of horses,
and whether the fly seen at the jaws of
horses is the samel There are several
species of bot or CAD flies, the Larvae of
which live in the stomachs of horses.
The most common of these lays its eggs
on the hairs Of the tore legs, breast or
shoulder of The animals, which, when
they lick themselves, extract and thus
swallow the embryo larve. Another
species selects the long hairs on the un-
der side of the jaws OF horses for depos-
iting its eggs. The young Larvae of these
drop into the feed and are thus carried
into the animals stomach. The larve Of
both remain and grow all winter in the
stomach, where they attach themselves
to its inner coat by means of the sharp
hooks ON their heads. In spring when
thy ha reached maturity, they relin-
Quish their hold, and pass out through
the intestines. Thus liberated they dig
into the soil and become trnsformed into
perfect bot flies. In horses whjch are
otherwise in healthy condition, bots dc
rarely any harm. So far no spe itic
remedy has been found. Their outer
coat is so hard that it resists the action

Feeding Corn stalks.

It is for the interest Of every farmer to
practice the most economical method OF
feeding the coarser portions of his fodder
material. Experiments carefully con-
Quoted at the various experiment stations
90 to show t at with the best of timothy
aud clover hay, under favorable condi-
tions, only about one-half of the nutritive
con tituents are digested, and when
there is q waste in the line of consump-
ton, the loss becomes still greater so far
as animal nutrition is concerned. Take
the case of corn fodder: If the stalks are
large there is very natural and strong
tende ICY for animals to consume only
the caves, and q small port on of the top
of the stalk, which leaves large amount
to he cast out with the manure or EN-
ployed as bedding.
Earmers eau hardly afford to grow
crops to be converted into manure in that
manner, Notwithstanding the Importance
of having plenty o manure. 1t IS some
times the case, that because of a scanty
supply it becomes important to farmer
to secure tbs cOusum tion Of all the
coarser products of the farm, even ii they
are of poorer quality. To accomplish
this most successfully requires the exer-
else of little add tional labor in the
shape of cutting the fodder, and the use
Of by-fodder in the line of meal, bran,
oil cake, or mddlings.
With the present improved Implements
for cutting fodder, in the shape of ensil-
age cutters, even by hand power, it i.
not difficult matter to cut as required
the amount of corn fodder usually found
upon average farms, and tn s. moistened
little with water, and given liberal
sprinkling W tn meal or wheat mid
dliues, will all be consumed, and serve
as good a purpose as the best hay.
II hand cutting is Objectionable, thii
can be accomplished by horse power, anc
the entire jon be done at once, includl lns
any OF er coarse fodd r, such as straw
or swale grass First quality corn fod
der if cut will be consumed even withou
any meal, but it is advantageous some
times to make change from even tn
best of hay on to some other food, anC
then corn stalks come into play to goo'
purpose.
If steaming of fodder is to be prac
tiscd, as is sometimes the case, then cut
ting becomes an absolute necessity; but
after repeated experiments in that lin
by some of the best farmers of the coun
try, it has been abandoned, and
is be ieved that no advantage is game
sufficient to warrant the increased add
tional expenditure.
1t is matter Of policy with mo,
farmers, espe tally if they desire to max
both ends meet, to practise those method
which experience teaches are the mo'
economical, taking into account resul
, ing returns.-Neto York Obser0er.

How TO Make a Good Cistern.

The surface soil is removed to a depth
of eighteen inches to exclude frost in
winter and heat in summer. The exca-
walton is made in the shape of an egg,
with the upper third cut of. 1t should
be eight 10 ten feet deep, and seven to
ten feet in diameter. The deeper the
eistern the better and cheaper it is. If
the soil is close and compact, the cement
may be laid directly upon it, and no
brick lining is required. To do this, a
large fat stone is bedded in cement at
the bottom. for the workman TO stand
upon, and for rest for the pump. The
cement is made of water lime, one part,
and clean, sharp sand, three arts, mixed
dry, first, and wetted up in small guam
titles as required, and can he used before
il sets hard. The cement is laid about
an inch thick. When the bottom is COW
cred layer is put in around the wall
about a foot high, and, as it sets very
quickly, as soon as one strip is laid
another may be put on above it, until the
whole is completed. In digging, q
shoulder of foot in width is made on the
